The Islanders have known one another forever—but everyone has secrets. The third and fourth books in Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant's electrifying series reach a whole new audience in this gorgeous omnibus edition.

Nina has never been very interested in having a boyfriend. Especially since the only guy she's ever really liked happens to be dating her sister, Claire. But when Ben and Claire break up, Nina begins to wonder if it's time she take a risk and put her heart on the line. The only problem is the other thing . . . the secret that Nina has never told anyone. The secret that has haunted her for years.

Now Nina must decide if she can tell her friends the truth. And, if she does, whether it's possible Ben will ever look at her the same way again.
